The 42nd president is in ’testing and observation’ after the fever.
Former President Bill Clinton was checked into a Washington hospital on Monday after developing a fever, said his aide in a statement.
“President Clinton was admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center this afternoon for testing and observation after developing a fever,” Angel Urena, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, said in a statement on social platform X.
The aide said that Clinton, 78, “remains in good spirits and deeply appreciates the excellent care he is receiving.”
Urena did not provide any other health-related details about Clinton, including what may have caused the fever or if he has other symptoms other than the fever.
Separately, Urena told CNN in an exclusive interview Monday that the former president “is fine” and expects to be out of the hospital by Christmas Day, which is Wednesday.
In 2021, Clinton was hospitalized for a blood infection and was released after six days, his spokesperson said at the time. Years before that, in 2004, Clinton had quadruple-bypass heart surgery and also had two stents inserted to open an artery in 2010.
